Sherwood Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 I believe they are called Lycoperdon perlatum? The spiky outside comes off like crumbs. And the inside is solid white and meaty. I am wondering if the inside of a young amanita mushroom look the same? Or would I see a cap shape? Sorry I didn't take a picture of the inside.

vitog Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 A cross section of an Amanita button will show an internal outline of the cap and stem, unlike the inside of a puffball, which is basically homogeneous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbywett Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 Gem studded puffball (Lycoperdon perlatum I believe) I fill my pockets with these during my fall hunting excursions. They are delicious. I always cut them in half to make sure they aren't Amanita and to make sure they are all white inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be getting a bunch of them to cook with the squirrel next time I'm out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
